Hey Yagen,

Nice to see you are doing well. The improvement in your walking from the first video to the second is notable.

Are you taking painkillers?

1 leg  -50% of pain

I recall me with the most painful nails albizzia is twisting his leg for clik cause pain with fitbone I think more easy

Albizzia is more painful due to clicking, perhaps, but all methods cause pain.

I wouldn't change Albizzia for Fitbone. Fitbone is unreliable. It fails a lot and results are inaccurate. Look at Krp1s diary and the thread Question for fitbone users.

Albizzia is the best option if you prefer weightbearing mechanisms. IF not, you have Precice... Precice isn't perfect, but better than Fitbone, IMO.

yes albizzia is a great value , however, I saw mechanics sometimes nails down albizzia
conserne for this walking it is impossible to walk for eight weeks with albizzia
yes after the inaccurate data is a problem

@Peaceout

I am not worry about to stay away from doctor Monegal, he seems my father, any question he is avalaible in whatsapp and every day came to the hospital to see me, every moning and every night I have whatsapp from him.

For me this is the most important thing if you have a good doctor next to you, when I asked to other Doctor like Paley he is not closer to the patients. In this kind of surgery you must trust in your doctor. I remember the firts appoinment with Monegal, I wanted to do both leg at the same time, but I think you have to listen all the doctors and after take your decission.


With just a leg you can do a normal life, this morning I started to up and down stairs. Awesome.

@Ozymandias

Level of pain 0/10, with PT 2/10

Last night I didnt take any painkiller and I sleep well, and now I have reduce to 50% the painkillers.

My leg swelling is very good.

@Christopherbulder @LLuser1

I think precise, fitbone, betz, guichet nail......... are all bad devices, because we are in the first stages of LL, now we wear a MS-Dos system in our legs.

In this surgery can fail a lot of things, rod, nails, infections........ But you have to be near a good doctor that can solve the problems, and for me Monegal is one of the best.

He told me that he can get fitbone or precise, he told me the pros and cons of both. He was very clear about that.

last night I started the lenthening with fitbone. Dr Monegal came to he hospital and he spent 1 hour with me explained how the device works. I was frightened if the device didn´t run well, but he told me that He tested the day of the surgery, with precise you can not test in the surgery. The pain when I did the click was 0/10

He was with me till 22:00 and his wife phoned him. I am very happy to chose a Doctor that he was looking out for me.

He gave a me a stethoscope to listen how the engine turn arround, he did 2 clicks 0,54mm, and this morning I did another one by myself 0,27mm

He told me that I have to do 3 click per day in this stage.

I am going to the airport to come back at my home. This week has been amazing. I am very happy with Dr, PT, nurses, hospital..

Now start a new stage, with more streaching!!! general pain 0/10.

Come back to the routine. Now I am doing a normal life, I can walk better everyday, the range os movement of my knee is improving .

I am lengthening 0,82 mm per day without any pain. I walk with chutches , and I just take painkillers at night. I can sleep well but I try dont fall asleep during the day, if you are tired at night you sleep better.

I think the best decision of my life was not to do both legs at the same time, thank you to Dr, Monegal for the suggestion.

Now you can see why.......... Its fuc**ing awesome.

View My Video

I drive a manual car, I can drive perfectly and I improve the knee angle at the same time!!!

I prefer wear I Insole that stay 4 four months in a wheelchair, the PT has told me that if you move walking the legs dont lost muscle and the consolidation its better.

I think a picture or video tell mora than 1k words
